That your advisers and speech writers have decided you should have a sense of humour is the way to go. There is nothing funny about saying "you will be believed even if you are lying".

Is there such thing as a personality transplant? This is the problem. Trump is Mr Showman...everything he says is headlined. Starmer is Mr Wall Just Painted. Everything he says will be nearly dry by the morning. The left and human decency needs a charismatic man as soon as possible.

If Starmer tries to be amusing it will be a big mistake; he will just come across as twitchy-weird, as well as dull.

It will be amusing to watch; though not in the way he wants...

I believe everything the Flat Earth Society says. I know the earth is a sphere and that they are lying, but I still believe them.

Makes sense doesn't it!

Not a full sphere Rich, the shape is called ellipsoid.

The funny thing about your response is that I actually checked the definition of sphere as far as describing the earth and thought I was alright with that word. I should of just said round! I recognise your pedant trait in me there, smart arse.

A good comment last night I heard about Starmer next to Trump at the White House sit down was how a British PM was made to look like a nervous schoolboy next to his headmaster. You could definitely sense Starmer's nerves.

Did anyone see the bit where Trump handed over to VP Vance on the special relationship and he said directly in front of Starmer about his concerns for freedom of speech being eroded in the UK? Can you ever imagine an American VP needing to say that in front of a British PM.

Don't worry Rich, Starmer says we have free speech, which is another lie. Will the police arrest a Muslim for praying in the street? Just asking.
